repr for PickleType

[Mike Bayer]

needs to be eval-capable for alembic

from sqlalchemy import PickleType

print repr(PickleType())

[Domen Kožar]

What should the output be?

[Mike Bayer]

basically repr() gets put straight into your alembic script there, so in the vast majority of, and possibly all, cases it should say "PickleType()". we're using a library function called generic_repr() to do it, which should be preventing the "pickler" from being in the repr(), so maybe in this case we need to hardcode it, since we don't really want "pickler" or "comparator" in there either; these are all python functions/modules which don't produce eval-able with repr().

[Mike Bayer]

we are getting "PickleType()" for the __repr__ right now. What's the issue here ?

[Mike Bayer]

oh, its in 0.7. This works in 0.8.

[Mike Bayer]

likely because of #2594

[Mike Bayer]

backported the patch from #2594 in b517e974e0d3eb4f89c724f9a1e865dc35824c7f.
